How does God's election show His mercy?

Answered in 1 source

God's election demonstrates His mercy by choosing to save certain individuals despite their unworthiness, thereby magnifying His grace.

God's election is a profound expression of His mercy; He chooses certain individuals for salvation regardless of their sinful nature. As outlined in Romans 9:23-24, God’s enduring patience with those fitted for destruction is purposeful, serving to showcase the richness of His glory on the vessels of mercy He has prepared. This concept conveys that salvation is entirely a work of grace—neither deserved nor earned. Recognizing this allows believers to understand that their status as saved is solely due to God's merciful choice, compelling them to live in gratitude rather than pride.
